Zomba (English spelling)
A city in southern Malawi. It is located 884m above sea level on the Zomba Plateau, east of the Shire River. It was founded in 1885 along a slave-hunting route, and became the administrative seat of the British Central Africa Protectorate (later Nyasaland) in 1900. It was the capital of Malawi until the end of 1974. It is a resort town blessed with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate even in summer. However, its commercial center is Blantyre, 60km southwest, and its agricultural center is Lilongwe, which moved to the capital in 1975. It is now a distribution center for agricultural products such as tobacco and rice. It is home to the University of Malawi, and a branch line of the main railway line from the port of Beira in Mozambique to Salima runs through it. Population 42,878 (1987).
